Hi, my zucchini is a really light green colour - not anything like those you buy in the supermarket? Is this normal? Should we pick it and eat it

Ash, Zucchini come in various shades from yellow to almost black/green. Your light green ones are quite alright to eat. If they have small raised 'ribs' along the length of them, they are particularly good.
